Some practical points if it helps:

Transcription is about 93% accurate or so, maybe a bit less when we have dinner in a noisy restaurant.

I didn’t notice they were techno-glasses until about 90 minutes into the first time hanging, but that’s probably just me being inattentive haha. Homie has had cochlear implants & already navigates the hearing world fairly well.

Still prefers subtitles or closed captions.
